Today we have another of those creativity exercises for illustrators. We surely are lone wolves, used to solitude and all that jazz... but for this one, you'll need a friend.

The basic idea is to get a theme of choice and then each of you draw a character or something theme related, that your peer can't see until finished.

Once both drawings are finished, you give them to each other, and then try to make a version of the character of your own.

It could be a challenge if you are not used to draw some kind of things (stepping outside the comfort zone it's always a good idea).

Well, that's what my colleague Verónica Vázquez and me were doing the other day. We choose merfolk as a theme, and here you have the results, first Verónica's mermaid and my version, and then my old merman and her version.

Two new drawings made for the Drink and Draw Madrid, hosted as usual by Lebrílope Papelería, and this time was Far West-themed.
Not as much people as in the other editions (summer vacation takes its toll on the attendance), but there was nice people and fun, as always.

Sometimes you need to strecht a little your creative muscles, and improve areas where you are not so good as you would like. This exercise could be of help there (or maybe not, but anyway, it's fun).

Take a big sheet of paper and prepare to do 24 (or as much as you can fit without feeling like the sheet cramped with them) of the thing you fear to draw or want to improve. It's better to get just a part of a figure, or maybe the complete figure if you can simplify it and make it small enough (but can still appreciate the movement, nevertheless).

My weapon of choice were... women faces. They didn't need to be pretty, didn't need to be ugly, didn't need to be anything but women faces. I also decided (unconsciously) that the first of each couple would be a serious/sad/angry one, and the second would look happier/friendlier/nicer.

So I went to the street and while I was waiting for someone to fetch me, I started doodling. And looking at women's noses to get inspired as they walked by. I hadn't but a few seconds to get a hold on how their noses were and to put them in paper!

This weekend I was invited by Cabezapajaro, a cultural association from Cáceres, Spain, to join them for their first aniversay and to take part in their expo "Tenemos un plan" (we have a plan), that will be there until mid-September.

Here we have a commission requested by a friend, of one of the characters of Obliterast, the comic I'm preparing for this fall.
She's the captain of a ship that goes along the rivers of the Dark Continent, Ariadne, carrying cargo and passengers.

Diana "Wonder Woman" Prince and Karen "Power Girl" Starr, a couple of bounty hunters and law enforces in Texas and other territories. Diana plays the part of the responsible one, and Karen is the funny one, but when it comes to fists, both are the muscle and the though woman.

This weekend I had to be out of home due to a meeting with other fellow artists, and these are the result of it. I was even in the Birthday party of a friend, and my gift to him was the Catwoman below.

Also we have some sword and sorcery races and a fanart of the cat thief from Dark Lord, by Aitor Eraña.
